Post Natal Depression?

I think I might have PND. I'm not entirely sure, it may be this cruddy weather (which I'm actually enjoying - I'm not a fan of the heat) or it might be good ol' post natal depression.

I haven't googled it, I know little about it. I feel very low, exhausted, teary, extremely hormonal and today, a tad suicidal (not in a 'I want to kill myself' way, just 'i don't feel like I can go on'). Husband thinks it's because there is a lot going on at the moment and I'm hoping this is the case. To be sure, I shall go to the doctors on Monday.

Has anyone else experienced this and it turned out to be stress? Or has anyone had PND?

Luckily I don't feel embarrassed to speak openly about it but I know lots of others do. I'm not a loon or a head case, I just don't feel right.

Hi, you've done a brave thing posting this! More women than would like to admit suffer from PND and it's a sorry state of affairs as it's easily treatable. Now when I say that I don't mean it's easy to snap out of - it's not. But there is help out there. It could just be just Baby Blues which is a mild form of PND or it could well be the PND either which way I think you need to talk to your GP and see where that leads.I sincerely hope you get sorted, good luck xxx
